In again offering our Annual Catalogue to the public, we do so with much pleasure, and are glad to announce that the quality of our stock, which has given such good results in past years, has been improved and jargely increased during the present season; and also that many valuable New and Rare varieties have been added, so that we believe it to be as complete as any collection in the country. Our facilities for propagation are now so perfect, that we are able to insure good quality at the lowest rates. Where a considerable quantity is wanted, we can give special in- dlucements. In order to meet the increased demand for our Plants, &c., we have been induced to extend a part of our business to the city of Manchester, where the Railway and Express facilities enable us to better dispatch goods in all directions, with the least possible delay. We have erected an extensive range of houses, seven in number, nearly one hundred feet in length, on the corner of Pearl and Maple Streets, about fifteen min- utes walk from the Railroad Station. And we cordially invite all to visit our establishment and satisfy themselves of the superiority of our stock before purchasing elsewhere. You will also notice that we have combined our Plant and Seed cata- logue in one; as many of our customers who order seeds also order plants,and as we have to repeat a great many articles in one catalogue that we have in the other, we concluded to combine both in one,thereby saving time and expense, and making it much more convenient for all. Nearly every variety of plants named in this catalogue can be sent by mail with perfect safety to any part of the United States, where the time will not exceed ten days. In some cases smaller plants will have to be sent them by express, but all will be well rooted and will readily grow, and will be sent Post Paid at catalogue prices. All orders for Seeds or Plants by Mail should be directed as heretofore to Brentwood, N. H. Orders from unknown correspondents, unless es eet Se by a remit- tance or satisfactory reference, will be sent by express, C. O. D. No charges for boxes, baskets, or packing, and all packages delivered at Railroad Stations or Express Offices, free of charge. J. T. SMITH & SONS, MANCHESTER, N. H. - - - - Brentwoop, N.
